User Reviews

Users praise Oblique Strategies SE for its clean, minimalist UI and a useful widget. They value the expanded card deck with multiple editions and recent updates, which supports varied creative workflows. However, recurring complaints center on the widget: it often doesn't auto-update, doesn't stay in sync with the app, and lacks dynamic shuffling. Another common gripe is the lack of user customization — no option to add custom cards or decks (and missing blank card). Overall, the app is praised for creativity stimulation and design, but improved widget reliability and user-generated content are frequent requests.

Pros

Clean, minimalist UI.
Helpful home screen widget that complements the app.
Rich, updated card deck with multiple editions and new cards.
Strong creative usefulness; widely regarded as a great tool for breaking creative blocks.

Cons

Widget often fails to auto-update; requires manual refresh or reopening.
Widget and in-app card do not stay in sync; changes in one are not reflected in the other.
No support for user-created cards or custom decks (missing blank card).

Recent reviews

Does this update include the newest cards? I know the blurb says it’s been updated. The fediverse bot seems to have a lot more cards I’ve never seen in the iOS app. Still the best logjam breaker that seems to be tilted towards musicians. Dunno if the knockoffs can say the same.
